Problems Solved: The Ravens Coaches Took The Ping Pong Table, Basketball Hoop And Video Games Out Of Their Locker Room So The Team Stops Getting Distracted

Ah, yes, there it is. Feels like every year we get a report of a team with a losing record taking away the ping pong table to force some sort of incentive. But, it wasn't just the ping pong table. The Ravens lost the video games, the basketball hoop AND cornhole? Must be the reason that Lamar got hurt and the defense sucks. Clearly, this is how you fix being 1-5 and not get your MVP quarterback healthy and defense being average again. 

I do laugh that these grown men who play a violent sport for a living get treated the same way I punish my 6 and 3-year old sons. Don't listen to me? Guess what, pal. Grounded. No random car toy for you the rest of the night. We'll try again tomorrow and see if you want to pay attention to the scouting report (which is eat dinner and not be loud). Next time there's a terrible penalty I fully expect John Harbaugh to make that player go stand in the corner and take deep breaths until he's ready to play again. 

Just a good reminder of how accurate this tweet is 

You'll hear about the 6-7 players only meetings that happen across the league. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes no sense and you know it's hopeless. But getting the stuff lugged out of the locker room is usually saved for one team each year. It's typically a team like the Ravens. A team that had playoff aspirations, even Super Bowl aspirations, struggle early and they know a players-only meeting isn't going to work. So they react by doing the only possible threat they can, take away the toys in the locker room. It's a tradition that basically never works, but if the Ravens win this week, they'll chalk it up to not being able to play cornhole.
